No. of pieces 1500
Price/Retailer $38.99 (+ s&h) at Jigsaw Jungle or $33.22 (+ s&h) from Amazon

Analysis

The picture here is a print of the city of angels created by pixel artist group eBoy. If you fancy this style of art, check out the other cities available in the same series. I've come across at least a few more in 1500-piece form, including London, Paris, and Rio.

The eBoy puzzles are currently produced by Heye, a German publishing company. I hadn't worked on any Heye puzzles prior to this one and found the overall quality to be excellent. I highly recommend their puzzles and will definitely be browsing their catalog for some more projects in the future.

Fit
No issues here. The pieces fit really well together - snug but not too much so.

Construction
Fully cut? Yes
Precise cut? Yes
Thick/Sturdy pieces? Yes
Puzzle dust? Barely any
Chips/Rips/Tears? Very minimal - only a few pieces with minor tears (no impact to the final puzzle)
Broken/Bent pieces? Very minimal - only a couple of pieces that were slightly bent
Peeling? None

Difficulty
Within the picture itself, there's a lot of action, amusing elements, and something different across each square inch, which all in all makes for a fun challenge.

Final Look

What happens when you bring a jigsaw puzzle home to work on over
christmas vacation? It turns into the family project. The
single photo I captured was early on, at which point only the family dog
took an interest in my project.
